There's a new song the radio keeps playing about some girl who's exes keep coming after her, and it has the line

"Cause I'm the best baby that they never got to keep"

And I'm like... is she talking about ex-boyfriends or like, father figures or something? :v: I legitimately wasn't sure for a second.

I'm not going to solve this problem for you. I'm only going to make it worse. The father of the woman singing that song is Rob Schneider.

It was! Ancient Egyptian physicians were both male and female and were well versed in internal anatomy, partially due to such familiarity with the anatomy of the embalming process. They were capable of many "modern" surgeries and even, as I recall, heart surgery. They understood much of how the heart is interconnected with all of our other internal systems. Mortality rates for Egyptian surgeries were lower than they were hundreds and hundreds of years later in Europe, because physicians valued cleanliness and would bathe before treating patients. They practiced dentistry and gynecology and understood that mental illness is in fact an illness that needed treatment. They combined what we think of as traditional medicine with faith and spell-based care. Greek and Roman physicians who received their medical training in Egypt were held in high regard.

Ancient Egypt is my jam. :)

The Edwin Smith papyrus is one of my favourite things that exists. For those who haven't heard of it, it's basically a trauma manual for the upper body (presumably it also addressed the lower body, but that part is missing). It describes various injuries to the head, neck, arms and torso; prescribes treatments for these; and recommends the physician says whether they can treat it, try to treat it, or do nothing for it, depending on the severity of the injury, as there's no sense bringing shame on the profession like if you said "oh yeah I can totally fix this" about an almost certainly fatal wound. It provides definitions for terms the reader might be unfamiliar with, and it describes things like the corrugations of the brain, and how it pulsates with blood flow. It describes upper spinal injuries causing paralysis, and injuries to one side of the head causing paralysis on the opposite side of the body. e: I'm rereading a translation I have of it rn and it actually describes closed-head injuries to one side of the head causing paralysis on the same side. The translator makes a note that this can be attributed to the contre-coup effect, where a forceful blow to the head on one side can cause your brain to smack into the opposite side of your skull, creating brain damage far away from the point of impact.

It's a document that reveals a tradition of paying attention to how the body actually works, how it breaks and how it heals, and how to help that process along. The papyrus itself is around 3600 years old, but the text may be quite a lot older.

Yes, its a new pixar movie, and on a fresh start-up of firefox today it showed the ad. It really reeks of Disney Marketing department offering them a bunch of money, and Firefox deciding it was worth making their users angry for the big paycheck.

Well, that's horseapples, smooth move Firefox team.


I was aware of some entirely different controversy about the movie (link is to a CBC article), where the managing director of Cinemablend wrote a review incorporating an old racist trope, suggesting that because it was about a 13 year old Canadian-born Chinese girl in Toronto that it was unrelatable.

Sean O'Connell posted:

"I recognized the humour in the film, but connected with none of it," O'Connell wrote in his review. 

"By rooting Turning Red very specifically in the Asian community of Toronto, the film legitimately feels like it was made for Domee Shi's friends and immediate family members. Which is fine — but also, a tad limiting in its scope."

I saw the panda movie on the weekend. I enjoyed it. My wife adored it.

It wasn't 1:1 relatable for her, but it's the closest I've seen any movie ever come. Like, she would have been older than the protagonist was in 2002, she lived in Markham instead of Toronto's Actual Chinatown, I've never known her to transmogrify into a giant fuzzy animal of any sort. But there were bits of her mom in the mom, bits of her dad in the dad, bits of her friends in the friends. I've had dim sum with those aunties. The warm, dawn-lit pastel hues of Toronto's brick houses looked the way her memories look.

I'll take that over another ten movies directly addressing my own experiences. Watching it with her was like being privileged to experience a slice of her life before I was ever present in it.

Also she thought the panda was really really cute.

Sorry yall, I was being glib, what I should have said was:

A stay at the Star Wars Hotel costs minimum $4800 for two people for two nights, and if you were to drop that kind of money, and then get grouchy about that in the year 2022 your pricey interactive experience didn't 100% consist of aiding stormtroopers, my sympathy in that regard would be limited

However I will allow that I'm probably getting mad at a dude I made up. I can't be bothered to watch the youtuber's review to see if she was actually all that upset about that particular aspect, vs the other stuff she mentioned like vague direction and crappy seating. Now that I'm devoting more than two brain cells to the matter I think I remember reading accounts from other people that the "help the good guys" and "help the bad guys" storylines converge on helping the good guys, that appears to be how the whole thing is set up
